ODD DECORATIONS.

The craze for odd interiors is on tho
increase. and all sorts of queer decora-
tions are in vogue. Wherever there are
gentlemen of hunting proclivities the
house is certain to contain one apart
ment in which the trophies of the chase
or game are used us trimmings. Tho
hall or vestbule wall is ornamented
with fox-heads suitably mounted and
marked, and dado of "brush'' serves
rs novel finish. Often design made
of the crops, stirrups, bit and snaffle,
covers an entire panel. In the hunting
quarter there are paintings of the best
game, bagged, framed in wings Of
snipe, quail, or prairie chicken, and the
hunting-bag may serve q dozen pur-
poses, as catch-all letter-case, mirror
rack, whisk-holder or the like.
Then there are cozy rooms devoted
to fancies. Mr.. Berry Wall started the
cane collection, and there are dozens
of elegant bachelors in this very city
who get infinite delight from cane
srluggery. The floor is laid in hard
wood, rugge d or not, and finished in

EvAPORATlNG APPLES.
Information Sent Out by the National De.
partment of Agriculture.

partment of Agriculture.
In reply to questions sent out by the
National Department of Agriculture the
following items regarding dried or
evaporated apples have been evolved:
Acid apples with white flesh make the
best product. In large establishments
the apples are prepared for the evap-
orator by machines which pare, core
and slice the apples in one operation.
Hand-prepared fruit is not divided into
such neat and uniform pieces or rings.
hence does not dry as uniformly or
present as attractive an appearance.
Some of the manufacturers place the
apples when they come from the parer
into solution of salt and water, one
pint of salt to ten gallons of water.
This is thought to cut the gum on the
fruit and clean it, also to prevent fer
mentation and aid in bleaching.
Bleaching is done by exposing the
fruit in wooden box or special ma
chine to the action of sulphur fumes.
Apples when cut and exposed to the air
discolor quickly, and this bleaching
brings back the natural color. The
sooner the bleaching is done after the
fruit is cut the better. Caution is given
against over-bleaching the fruit and
causing it both to taste and smell OF
sulphur.
From different drying establishments
come different reports as to the heat Of
the evaporation. Answers included from
ninety-fve to over two hundred degrees
+. Fresh fruit will stand two hundred
and fifty degrees +. without burning.
With an evaporation full the fruit must
remain in from two to five hours, accord
ing to the heat in the evaporator. 1t is
estimated that one bushel of apples will
make from five to seven pounds OF dried
fruit.-M Y. World. "'N

HOW MIRRORS ARE MADE.
How Rough Pieces OF Plate Glass Al
Made Into Gorgeous Mirrors.

How Rough Pieces of Plate Glass Arc |
niade Into Gorgeous Mirrors.
One of the factories in Chicago EN-
ploys some one hundred and fifty men
and boys, and its spacious four floors
present an interesting series of sights
to the visitors whose nerves are steel
and tympani proof against splitting.
On the first floor he will see huge stacks
and piles of glass in assorted sizes,
ranging from sixteen feet by seven
squares down to the smallest oyals for
mirrors. These are all polished. some
being run over huge fclt-covered wheels
kept powdered with rouge. and the
larger sheets scrubbed by sweating
toilers with hand blocks covered with
felt like a printers proof planer in
rouge. After the glass is thoroughly
polished it is taken up to the next
floor, where it is laid on tables and cut
into the sizes ordered. 1t then passes
into the hands of the jewellers, who,
with sand and water and large grind
stones, artistically finish the edges of
the glass. 1t takes trip upward
again, to another floor, and is once
more put through polishing process
to remove any scratches OF blemishes
that may be on the glass. After
every spot or scratch, no mat
ter how minute, has been re-
moved. careful hands convey the now
beautiful and sparkling glass to the room
where it goes through the final process
the silvering Huge tables of cast iron
or stone, made like billiard tables, with
raised edges, are used in the silvering
room. These tables are of great
strength and solidity, and all around
the edge is drain, for the superfluous
mercury is poured over the tables in
quantities sufficient to float the glass,
which, after being tinfoiled. is gently
and carefully pushed across the table
containing the mercury. Great care
must be used to prevent blemishes, the
least speck of dust being ruinous to the
mirror. Mercury, like molten lead, is
always covered with dirty-looking
scum which can not be removed by
skimming. The least bit of this scum
would spoil the mirror, so the difficulty
is obviated by showing the scum along
with the edge of the glass. After sue
cessfully floating the glass on the mer-
curry, woolen cloth is spread over the
whole surface and square iron weights
are applied until the whole presents a
compact mass OF iron, two or three
pounds to the square inch. After this
/ pressure has been confined for ten or
twelve hours. the weights are removed
and the glass placed upon another
table of wood with slightly inclined
top. The inclination is gradually in-
creased until the eunamalgamated quick
silver has drained away and only the
perfect amalgam remains, coating the
glass and perfectly adherent. This
ends the process, and the erstwhile
rough piece of plate glass energies
from the silvering room gorgeous

POSTAGE STAMPS.
How They Are Engraved, Printed, Per-
forateu and Packed.

forateu and Packed.
IN printing steel plates are used, on
which two hundred stamps are en-
graved. Two men are kept at work
covering them with the colored inks
and passing them to man and girl,
who are equally busy at printing them
with large, rolling hand presses. Three
of these little squads are employed all
the time, although ten presses can bo
put into use in case of necessity. After
the small sheets of paper upon which
the two hundred stamps are engraved
have dried enough they are sent into
another room and gummed. The gum
used for this purpose is peculiar
composition made of the powder Of
potatoes and other vegetables, mixed
with water, which is better than
any other material, for instance,
gum-arabic, which cracks the paper
badly. This paper is also of a
peculiar texture, somewhat similar to
that of bank notes. After having again
been dried, this time on little racks
which are famed by steam-power for
about an hour, they are put in between
sheets Of pasteboard and pressed in hy-
draulic presses capable of applying a
weight of two thousand tons. Tho
next thing is to cut the sheets in halves,
each sheet, of course, when cut con-
tains hundred stamps. They arc
then passed to two other squads, who;
in as many operations, perforate tho
sheets between the stamps. Next, they
are pressed once more, and then packed
and labeled and stored away in another
room, preparatory to being put In mall
bags for dispatching to fill orders. If
single stamp is torn or in any way
mutilated, the whole sheet of one hum
dred is burned. Five hundred thousand
are burned every week from this cause.
For the past twenty years not u single
sheet has been lost, such care has been
taken in counting them. During tho
progress of manufacturing the sheets
arc counted eleven times. Cor. Chicago

How We Are Stripping Bare the Continent

The country has everything to gain
and nothing to lose by the ceasing to
depend on foreign markets for its
bread stuffs. The first effect of that
dependence has been method of
farming which is utterly wasteful-
mere land -butchery in fact. The wheat
producing lands of the West have been
TO great extent impoverished and in
some cases exhausted by raising the
same crop year after year, and sending
away the produce over land and sea.
As the Scotch say, constant taking
